Woman holds up Mumbai local.
In a brazen incident a woman brought a train to a halt by refusing to alight from a packed coach and allowing the automatic door to slide shut. A video is going viral online.
Whereas the woman’s refusal to alight from the Mumbai local in the face of conviction and pretext was remarkable in itself, it was an official’s unique solution to the problem that left thousands of viewers amused.
Notably a Footage shared by an Instagram page called “Aamchi Mumbai” shows the woman standing at the door of a crowded coach in a Mumbai local train. Her position is such that the train’s doors are prevented from sliding shut. Police officers and a plainclothes official stand on the platform, requesting the woman to get off the train, but she refuses to heed their pleas.
With their pleas falling on deaf ears, one official comes up with an unusual solution. He requests the woman to get off the coach and guides her to the driver’s compartment, where she gets to sit next to the locomotive pilot – a position that few other train passengers can boast of having occupied.
Footage of the bizarre incident has been viewed over 8 lakh times on Instagram. The video was first shared on YouTube by vlogger Virendra Chauhan.
The person filming the video noted that other passengers ran late because of the woman’s refusal to adjust. Many viewers criticised the woman for holding up hundreds of other passengers.
